I am more nervous now after seeing our defence yesterday,the rest will be ok but no actual central defenders and it'll be a long afternoon
 
My guess:

Caballero; Zabaleta Otamendi Fernando Clichy; Toure Fernandinho Stering Silva Nolito; Aguero
 
If Kolarov starts I'm not going to lie I'll be devastated
 
Hart

Zaba Stones Otamendi Clichy

Delph Fernandinho

Sterling Silva Nolito

Aguero

Willy, Tosin, Sagna, Navas, De Bruyne, Yaya, Iheanacho

Got a feeling Stones will finally be signed this week. De Bruyne will probably be given half hour. Not sure where Sane is up to on fitness.

Going for a strong City start 3-0 Aguero getting on score sheet with 2 goals.
 
Zabaleta did well against Arsenal I think. Stones will be signed soon but I don't think it would be fair to throw him into the starting XI straight away.

Hart
Zabaleta Sagna Otamendi Clichy
Delph Fernandinho
Navas Silva Sterling
Aguero

Caballero, Stones, Fernando, Touré, De Bruyne, Nolito, Iheanacho

Stones can be given a ten minute debut off of the bench if we're doing really well. Now we're back to only three substitutions and unlike last season there's actually going to be more than three players who could come off of the bench and make a difference.
 
Looking at what teams Pep has picked preseason I reckon it will be something like this looks poor.

If this is indeed the starting line up I cant think of us putting out a weaker side in a league game in the past 5 years. I mean that is a top 6 at best side.
